Great news for Fun Ship lovers: Carnival Cruise Line has announced the name of its newest ship will be Carnival Horizon.

Carrying 3,934 guests, the 133,500-ton ship is scheduled to enter service in 2018 in Europe. The direct sister to this year’s Carnival Vista, Carnival’s choice of the name “Horizon” is appropriately fresh; in a landscape dotted with cruise ships that all have words like “star”, “spirit” and “jewel” in their names, the last ship to use the name “Horizon” was launched way back in 1990 (who remembers Celebrity’s Horizon?)

Carnival Horizon will offer many of the hugely popular indoor and outdoor dining, bar, entertainment and activity options available on the recently-launched Carnival Vista. These include the SkyRide, the IMAX Theatre, the massive WaterWorks aqua park; Carnival’s Seuss at Sea program in partnership with Dr. Seuss Enterprises and the ever-popular Alchemy Bar, with its hand-crafted cocktails.

Carnival also plans to offer a wide range of accommodation types aboard the new Carnival Horizon, including the popular Havana staterooms and extra-roomy Family Harbor cabins that made their debut aboard Carnival Vista earlier this year to great critical acclaim. There will also be a number of new innovations unique to the ship that Carnival plans to announce as construction continues at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard.

“The name Carnival Horizon not only reflects the ship’s unique connection with the sea with so many spectacular indoor and outdoor spaces but also the boundless array of options that guests of all ages are sure to enjoy,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.

Homeport information and maiden itineraries haven’t been set out yet, but Carnival has revealed it plans to debut Carnival Horizon in Europe. Guests can expect something similar to this year, likely a season of Mediterranean cruises followed by a transatlantic crossing and a winter season of East Coast and Caribbean voyages. Exact details on Carnival Horizon’s first itineraries will be released later.

Her sister, the just-launched Carnival Vista, has already proven herself to be one of the line’s most popular Fun Ships yet. Based on a modified version of the hull design that debuted in 2009 aboard Carnival Dream and her sisters Carnival Magic and Carnival Breeze, Carnival Vista sports an all-new interior décor look and feel that breaks tradition with past Carnival ships. If you’ve stayed away from the line in the past because of the gaudy interior design, this is the ship for you. Think of it as Carnival, all grown up, but with the same healthy dose of fun and value that the line has always provided.

Can’t wait for Carnival Horizon to debut? No problem: her sister Carnival Vista heads to North America this fall, with Caribbean cruises from New York starting in November, and Miami in December.
